Objective: To compare the effectiveness of intermittent occlusion and static stretching of lower limb muscle groups in the prevention of exercise-induced muscle soreness in young adults. Methods: A randomized controlled trial using a non-probability, convenient sampling technique was conducted to determine the effectiveness of intermittent occlusion and static stretching. A total of 22
young adults (aged 18–25 years) without comorbidities were included, with 11 participants in each control and interventional group. Data were collected from Shalimar Club, Rawalpindi, and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Exclusion criteria included comorbidities assessed using the PAR-Q questionnaire. The study was completed in 8 months. Muscle soreness was measured pre- and
post-intervention.
